Diversity Scholarship

MLA is now accepting applications for its first Diversity Scholarship Award. This scholarship program, funded by the membership of MLA, offers candidates from under-represented groups an opportunity to pursue the master’s degree in library and information science (MLIS). The goal of the scholarship program's first year is to increase the number of underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities within music librarianship by providing support for master’s-level LIS education.

Students who have applied to or who are enrolled in an MLIS program with a concentration, certificate, or courses in music librarianship are eligible to apply for the MLA Diversity Scholarship Award.

The Award

The winner of the 2017/2018 Award will receive a tuition stipend of $2,250.

The awardee will receive career guidance provided by the MLA Placement Officer and programs at the MLA Annual Meeting, in addition to the Career Advisory Service.

Gratis student membership in MLA for one year.

Gratis registration for the MLA annual conference.

Automatic consideration for the MLA Kevin Freeman Travel Grant, for possible support for travel to and attendance at an MLA Annual Meeting.
